Those Were the Days...

It's grey and overcast day today with a good possibility of rain, which rather fits my mood.  Tomorrow looks better, as the sun is supposed to shine with some nice mild temperatures.  I'm really looking forward to that!  Hopefully you too can have a nice sunny day this weekend. 


Last night I made this card with my Dad in mind, as he used to play the violin back in his younger years.  His birthday is in January, so I'm well ahead of the game here.  The image is called Music Lover, another fine image from Just Inklined.  I've chosen to work with shades of brown, using some Prima papers from the Printery Collection and I've even distressed the edges.  No bling or sparkle today, just a few extra die cuts to add interest.  I really enjoy playing with these!

Dies used:
Spellbinders - Labels Twenty and Fancy Framed Tags Two
Whimsy - Corner Dies Set

I'm hoping to get more male cards done in the next little while, after discovering that my stock of these was sorely depleted.  Hope you enjoyed your visit.....and a have great weekend.
